    Liquid Assets is a wonderful teacher and informant on the “TODAY” of Adult Beverage. The hosts are great and the episodes fly by. Truly enlightening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inspiration for navigating a downturn
Q: How do, is that going on? That people are choosing to sit at home on a phone or on the computer, rather than going out and living?
The speakers say people are spending less time together in person, and argue that alcohol businesses should focus on social occasions and enriching shared experiences rather than solitary consumption.
Inspiration for navigating a downturn
Q: What's the key lesson?
Trading-card companies consolidated and created scarcity through limited-run cards, helping sustain collector interest. The speakers relate the approach to premium spirits and wine, while noting that scarcity works differently for everyday consumer products.
Everyone's favorite antagonist, featuring Dave Infante
Q: Are we losing some of the protections that journalists would need to be more aggressive in tackling complicated stories with powerful counterparties that you're reporting on?
Infante says independent journalists face greater risk without editors or legal departments, so they must carefully verify claims, select stories judiciously, and correct mistakes when they occur.
Everyone's favorite antagonist, featuring Dave Infante
Q: How did you end up writing about the beverage business?
Infante began at Thrillist in 2010 during the digital media boom, covering food and drink before focusing on the growing craft beer business.
How do control states work?
Q: What is Nabca and what are control states?
Nabca is the Trade Association for all control markets, comprised of jurisdiction-level members; control states are markets where the government takes ownership of the product at some point in the supply chain, varying in whether they wholesale, retail, or both, and they rely on data and policy to guide decisions.
